Re: [Chrysler300] Remote mirror cables

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

Hi Gilles and All:
 
The 300F mirror cables enter the passenger compartment, as you suspected,  
through the "keyhole" shaped opening about 4 inches right (inboard) of the left  
hood hinge.  This is the same slot through which the hood release, engine  
compartment wiring, speedo cable, and transmission cable pass.  The mirror  
cables are integral with their seal, an approximately 1" X 1/4"   rectangular 
three holed rubber affair which is stacked in the slot with the  others.  It seems 
like the wires for this arrangement (300F) would have to  be longer than 
those which utilize the larger round three hole grommet, as the  hole for the 
round grommet is located closer to the mirror---approximately under  the left hood 
hinge.  At least it is in my 300H.  Perhaps one of the  mirrors you have is 
actually a 1959.  It would not be surprising if the  cable length were 
different between '59 and '60, given the completely new body  in '60.  Hope this helps 
a little.
300ly, Gil Cunningham

Hi

In may 2004, Ben Meisner had already asked about this .  If replies were 
given, they weren't shared on the list server.

Where do  the cables of the remote control mirror go through from the fender 
to the  dashboard ?

I had no remote controle mirror originaly on my F but I  have got one to 
install. 

At our local car club,?a friend of mine who  owns for a couple months a '60 
Chrysler N-Y bought a correct '60 mirror (the  old one had been removed but not 
by him), he has the original hole in the  fender, the command on the 
dashboard. When it was done at the factory, are we  supposed to find a hole drilled 
into the body, under the left corner of the  windshield ? We can't find it !

Since I have seen Gary Goers  reproducing the small firewall grommet with the 
holes for the three cables, I  then assume the cables went through the 
firewall where all the cables go  through (speedo, hood release, push button...) but 
my Friend has shorter  cables than mine and they won't go through the 
firewall ! Why do we have  different lenghts in cables ??

It makes a lot of questions but any help  would be appreciated. And please, 
share them on the list server  !
